The trivial matter of raising hands, of course, Ruyin agreed, don't pass the concubine, and entered the Changchun Palace with Hongyan. Today's queen makes winter robes, which should be prepared in autumn, but because the queen has been plump recently, the new clothes are taken out and worn after the winter, and it is no longer a matter that can be dealt with by changing two stitches.

At this time, Hongyan and Ruyin were called together, so that they could also choose a piece of their favorite material to make clothes, but they measured the size, Hongyan and Ruyin were almost the same, they were both the posture of the queen when she was young, but Hongyan's waist was thinner, Ruyin touched her stomach and said: "Fu Ling'an is three years old, but I still haven't changed much, before I gave birth to Fu Ling'an, I was thinner than Sister Hongyan." ”

The queen said sourly on the side: "I asked you to come, did you come to answer me?" She turned around and looked in the mirror, looked at her body, and Hongyan and Ruyin followed up and said, "Niangniang is just right now, and you don't need to bounce rouge if you have a good face." ”

"You two learn to be as sweet and suspicious." The queen sneered, "Quickly put on all your clothes, and be careful of catching a cold." ”

The three of them measured the size, dressed neatly again, and then looked at the materials spread out on the warm kang, either purple and red or cold and noble, and turned back with different embroidery, Ruyin took a fancy to a purple-red cloud brocade, and the red face was the stone blue brocade chosen, the queen frowned slightly, and said: "Too plain." He chose a coral red satin for her, and said, "You are a favored person, and you are young, why dress too plainly, everything in the palace is festive, the emperor has been busy for a day to rest with you, you are dressed like a stone, how can he be happy." ”

Ruyin smiled on the side: "Last time, the third sister-in-law came to see Fu Ling'an at home, and when she saw me dressed brightly, she said that I was alone at home, and I shouldn't dress up like this, and turn around to ask people to gossip." She was full of unconvinced face, and said, "My husband is doing well, I look forward to him coming home at any time, naturally I have to dress up every day, so that he likes to see me at any time." ”

The queen smiled: "I am more and more ashamed, when I first entered the door, I was a delicate villain." ”

Ruyin said proudly: "Even if it is not for him, for myself and for Fu Ling'an, I should be more energetic every day, so that others will look up to me, and I dare not see that the male owner is not at home, so I will bully our mother and son." Sister, do you say that what I did was right, and the third sister-in-law said that about me, it doesn't make sense. ”

Hongyan touched the satin given to her by the queen on the side, thinking that when she first arrived in Yingtai, she always looked forward to the emperor when she would appear, and she also dressed up carefully every day, even if she didn't look forward to it later, she didn't have to be sloppy and casual. The concubine likes to see young people dressing up, and Hongyan was in charge of the affairs of Yingtai at that time, and she felt that her makeup and clothes were dignified and steady, and the palace maids and eunuchs would look up to her.

Now that I think about it, a woman is just a love word for pleasing herself.

At this time, Qianya came from the door, saying that the things sent by Concubine Xian were placed outside, and she asked Fujin to take them out when she left the palace.

Ruyin should be down, remembered one thing, and asked the queen: "I don't often meet with Concubine Xian, and I rarely speak, but when I think about it today, why is it that only Concubine Xian Niangniang calls Mrs. Xian to several sisters-in-law in the family, as if she is very close." ”

The queen didn't care, Concubine Xian was a very quiet person in her eyes, helping her share the affairs of the palace, working hard and doing it clean and beautiful, there was a favor above it, and if she didn't, she quietly guarded her Yikun Palace, there were so many women around the emperor, only Concubine Xian had not changed at all since she entered the door to do side blessings.

As for the sister-in-law, the queen still said: "She often went in and out of Fucha Mansion when she was young, but I was already married to the emperor at that time, and if you ask Fu Heng in the future, he will know that Concubine Xian is very familiar with the sisters-in-law in our family." She hasn't seen her all these years, and she still calls her sister-in-law, and the Fucha clan and the Nala clan are world friends, so there's nothing wrong with calling her like this. ”

Ruyin felt that it made sense, and didn't think about anything more. Let's say that the queen's dresses have fixed specifications, and the dragon and phoenix can't be painted by them as they like, and the queen only picks a few colors of regular clothes, and her danqing wonderful strokes are lifelike, and the red face is not daring, but Ruyin is coquettish and pesters the queen to paint embroidery patterns for them. She is so affectionate, but the queen likes it, after so many years, there is finally a family member who does not treat her as the queen, and her sister makes the queen's heart sweet.

But Ruyin is a foreign woman after all, and she can't stay in the palace for a long time, so she left the palace in a hurry before lunch. She took the things that Concubine Xian explained to the mansion first, and personally delivered the jewelry box from the big room in turn, and the sisters-in-law would leave her to say a few words, and when she arrived in the second lady's room, she caught up with them for lunch, and persuaded Ruyin to sit down and use some, but Ruyin was afraid that the third sister-in-law would think that she was snubbing, so she still left the things given by Concubine Xian, and left first after a few words.

Just walked out of the courtyard gate and found that the handkerchief seemed to have fallen in the second sister-in-law's room, and it was inconvenient for the maids to hold things, so she left them and came back to find them herself. Who knew that when I entered the courtyard door, I saw that the jewelry box that had just been delivered was thrown out, and the palace flower hairpin was scattered on the ground, and the note fell off the box.

And the second lady stood in front of the door with a pale face, with a look of anger and resentment on her face, and Ruyin thought that she had neglected the second sister-in-law, or said something wrong, and stood in front of the courtyard gate and didn't know what to do.

The second lady was surprised to see her here, and she was also stunned, waiting for the maid behind her to remind her, and then she panicked and stepped forward to pull Ruyin, and Ruyin asked nervously: "Second sister-in-law, did I say something wrong, second sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to stay for lunch, I'm afraid that the third sister-in-law will ...... there."

The second lady's heart jumped out of her throat, and she hurriedly asked the maid to pick up the things sent by Concubine Xian, she said incoherently: "If my sister feels sorry for me, don't tell others what you see, yes, it's your second brother He has a woman outside, I'm very aggrieved these days, these days, the day before yesterday he stole a box of jewelry from me to give to the woman outside, I cried and begged and refused to let go, I really can't say it, just saw this box of things, I couldn't help it." Good sister, didn't it scare you, you just pity the poor second sister-in-law, don't say it, don't even say it to Fu Heng, is it? ”

Ruyin nodded again and again, feeling sorry for this poor woman, but she didn't understand, the second brother was such an honest and honest person, Fu Heng was often said that he was the most similar to the second brother among the eight brothers, why did the second brother raise a woman outside and force the wife at home to be like this. Ruyin couldn't have thought that the second brother had something to do with the concubine in the palace, and when the second lady said this, she naturally believed it.

Ruyin kindly stayed to relieve the second lady, and sent the girl to send other things, she accompanied the second lady to lunch, and saw that the second sister-in-law was in a better mood, and repeatedly promised that even Fu Heng would never say it, and then left the mansion. But after that, she was in a bad mood all day, Xu is Fu Heng is far away in Shanxi, Xu is Fu Heng already has a red face in his heart, and the queen often jokes with her that Fu Heng will bring a little lady back from Shanxi in the future, plus the longing for her husband and the grievances and difficulties encountered when she is alone, she is depressed.

A few days later, the new clothes were made, the queen summoned Ruyin into the palace to get it, when Ruyin entered the palace, the queen was still talking to the queen mother in Ningshou Palace, and the person who led the way directly sent Fucha Fujin to the East Sixth Palace, because Shu Concubine's grounding was over, they diligently asked Fucha Fujin if he went to see Shu Concubine Niangniang, according to the rules of family affection, Ruyin should also go to see her cousin, but she was not in a good mood these days, and she really didn't want to deal with bad words, it was better to be comfortable and comfortable by Hongyan's side, so she would rather be talked about by her cousin in the future, or go straight to Yanxi Palace.

Hongyan has been dressed, waiting for the queen to come out of Ningshou Palace, and then go to Changchun Palace to talk, it is not strange to see Ruyin coming, today's weather is excellent, a coffee table is set up in the courtyard to bask in the sun, but the warm sun shines on the face, and it becomes more and more different to the complexion of the two. ”

Ruyin denied it with a smile, bowed her head and fiddled with the tea set, which was very different from her usual liveliness and heartiness.

Hongyan smiled and coaxed her: "If you are not happy, just tell me, we have known each other for so long, except for Lord Fucha when you first went to Shanxi, you were a little reluctant, I have never seen you like this." Is it really bad health? Is there one? ”

Ruyin was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Sister said stupid things, Fu Heng came from the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn't have it at the time, how can I have it now?" ”

Hongyan hurriedly apologized: "I forgot, we are the imperial doctors who saw it together, and we didn't have it." But she looked at Ruyin's face carefully, and her eyes were full of worries.

She thinks that she has nothing to say with Ruyin, and even discusses a word or two about the private affairs of the boudoir, and even soaked in the soup pool together when she was still in Yingtai in the past, according to others, like sisters in the depths. That Ruyin must have something terrible going on today.

"Sister, when the emperor went elsewhere, you felt very sad, but you had to accept such a thing, the same as the queen's mother, isn't it?" After being bored for a long time, Ruyin said suddenly.

Hongyan said: "This is the case in the palace, the concubine once told me that either I will live well with the happiness in front of me, or I will struggle to the point that I am bruised all over my body, and even the fish will die and the net will be broken." I naturally chose the former, and I think she also chose the former now. ”

Her heart sank, and she couldn't help asking: "Ruyin, why did you suddenly ask like this, could it be that Lord Fucha is in Shanxi, and there is really a little lady?" ”

Ruyin shook her head, but frowned, and asked worriedly: "Their brothers are all wives and concubines, and he will definitely not be exempt from vulgarity in the future, I don't know how I will face it one day when he takes a concubine." ”

Hongyan wondered: "Okay, why do you think so far away?" ”
